Author's note: Thank you to those people who didn't get bored and moved through all of the chapters until they go to twenty. It has been a long time typing, with many different words. Anyway, off that. We have finished the first day of school. It is kind of sad, seeing as this is chapter twenty, and I just finished the first day in my story, which will take place over many years. I know, slow story pace, even with fast updates. Less than two months and twenty whole chapter! Happy new year if you are reading right after I post this. Go, read, review, poll, favorite, follow, whatever!
Disclaimer: Chapter twenty. Should I even still be saying this? Rick didn't do it for Greek Mythology every chapter. I'll still do it. Rick Riordan, I present you with the award of inspiring this story with your book series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
Koati's Point of view
Casus and I left his dorm room at 9:25 pm. That was when Pupa, Grover and Percy kicked us out of the dorm. That was fine though, as it would take us approximately five minutes to get to my dorm. Suddenly, Casus tapped my shoulder to grab my attention. "Snap out of it," he whispered. "Pay attention. You almost hit a wall when you were lost in thought. Also, lead the way as I am not entirely sure about how to get there."
"Okay," I answered. In order to find the way to the dorm room, I looked around the hall. "Did you notice how quiet and empty the hallway is?"
"Not really." After that, he glanced around. There was no one else in the halls, and you couldn't hear any noise coming out of the dorms. "This is really bad!" he exclaimed. "Why, with no noise and witnesses this is the perfect time and place to…" He trailed off, not wanting to finish the sentence.
I took another glance. "You're correct," I stated, eyes wide. "Great spot for a monster, and there is two powerful demigod scents, a minor demigod scent, plus whatever yours is. I do not believe satyrs smell though. Run?"
"Yeah," he nodded.
We began to sprint through the halls. Sadly, neither of us were as strong or fast as Percy. Either way, we made it to the dorm faster than the average person would. But then again, we were demigods. Strangely, the whole way there was not students, teacher or sounds. Not even the sounds of small animals moving could be heard. It was like everything was dead. Both of us were a little freaked. And that was hard to do. Neither of us got scared easily. At least, I don't get scared easily and Casus looks like a brave person as well.
"Hey," Casus whispered in a low tone. "Door, please?"
"Oh. Right" I fumbled, clumsily pulling out the key from my locket. I loved the locket, as it had the only remaining picture of my deceased father inside. Also, it was a big locket, allowing for a bigger picture and room a key. For doors, you could either use a key or key card. There was room for both on the lock. I preferred to use the traditional key. Casus stared at weirdly as I unlocked the door. "I'll explain inside." He nodded, understanding about not wanting to talk about it in the open hall. I could feel a whoosh of air come out the door. It was trapped in there, as all windows and doors were closed. I stepped inside, Casus following me.
Casus turned and shut the door, turned on some small lights, covered all of the cracks under doors and shut the blinds. He seemed a little paranoid. "Ydych chi'n gwybod Cymraeg? (Do you know Welsh?)" he asked. "Byddai'n well gennyf ddefnyddio iaith anhysbys i'r rhan fwyaf o fyfyrwyr. (I would prefer to use a language unknown to most students."
"Ydw, rwy'n gwybod Cymraeg ac mae hynny'n ymddangos fel syniad da. (Yes, I do and that seems like a good idea.)"
"Da. Sut wnaethoch chi ddysgu eich bod chi'n fregod? (Good. How did you find out you are a demigod?)"
"Wel, dechreuodd pan… (Well, it started when…)" I began.
We talked about our demigod lives, about possible demigods at Yancy, and their plausible godly parents in Welsh. Casus managed to remember minor gods that even I hadn't heard of. Eventually, Casus glanced at the clock. "It is 9:50," he told me. "I better go. Pupa hopefully should arrive in the room soon without incident, with the same going for me. Good bye." He said tht in English, as it seemed absolutely normal and inconspicuous.
"Bye Casus."
He left the room, marching out confidently. I heard the door slam behind him. The sound of his steps continued until they faded so much that a human could not hear them "For good," I whispered. Grabbing my grey owl pajamas, I entered the bathroom to change. As I got out, I heard the click of a key card. I jumped startled, landing in a defensive position. I was on full alert, ready for an attack at a moments notice.
Pupa entered the room slowly. It was 9:59. "Koati?" she asked quietly. "Are you here?" She turned towards me. "Ahh!" she exclaimed in fright. "You, you are in a very frightening position." I relaxed, realizing it was just her. I had to strain hardly to look through the mist and clarify it was actually her. I became very tired after that. It takes me a lot of concentration and energy to see through the mist completely.
"Um…" I blanked. "I was just a little tired and you frightened me with the sudden noise." I began to blurt out random thing when I was nervous. "I'm just going to lie down and go to bed now. You can go get changed in the bathroom and then to your bed. Make sure to turn off the lights and close all doors before you go to bed." I walked back to my bed and lied down. Slowly my eyes closed and I fell to sleep and down into Morpheus's realm of dreams and nightmares. I hope I don't get a demigod dream tonight. Morpheus usually tended to be nice to me, thankfully. A big three kid like Percy might be must be tortured through out the night.
